rwdrev Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 rite, really missing my gt since it threw its guts out the side of the block so i have been reading up on the 4efe turbo conversion, and now an engine has come up locally at a good price. my plans were - 4efte head (newly rebuilt)1.9mm metal head gasket (bought for 5e, but now changing to 1.4)stock 4efe bottom endholes drilled/tapped for the filter housingnot sure if it has a knock sensor hole, will put 1 in if notfte sump/pickupexternally gated td04L (its all i have, i think the gt2871r would mayb be too much, tho might try it for fun when the 5e is built lol)plus all the supporting mods to run this setup (fmic, emu, 255 pump, etc etc) i am going with this spec due to me having this already and not wanting to spend too much for a temp engine now, being a 84K engine and wanting it to last, i was thinking running 0.8 of boost but not sure what injectors to run, i have in the fte head 330's, or i still have the standard injectors, which ones to use? also, i was reading a post on tgtt about jays detonator V and kon had said to run a few degrees of retarted dizzy timing?? pick the engine up this sunday, hopefully get started on it soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'm doing the exact same thing bud until i get a forged engine next year, i'm using a JDM N/a lump as thats what i had to hand. You just need to fire a few FTE parts on it, i guess youve got them on your old engine ? A knock sensor screws right in as theres a hole tapped.You need a FTE dizzy & leadsFTE Ignitor & coilFTE MAP sensorFTE Inlet & TBFTE thermo housingFTE PAS pump, brackets & hoseFTE fuel railMaybe more but canny mind atm. You've already said the rest of the stuff, FTE grey injectors will be fine for 0.8 bar on TDO4, 330s wouldn't hurt i suppose if fueling is setup right Comp ratio is 9.6 - 1 as opposed to 8.2 - 1 on a FTE, that 1.9mm gasket should bring it down a wee bit though Any chance of a link to Jay's thread ?

daniel_g Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ahh nice one, i'm using a 100ps one too. I doubt there are very many decent FTEs left, and certainly hardly any for sale, turbo'ing FEs is where its at haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDMfreak Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 im wanting to do this next year to my N/A but do I need to replace the whole loom for a glanza v loom or can I just wire in a map converter to the 4efe loom im confused as no one has done a full write up on what's needed,,ie will it run on the 4efe wiring and ecu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 think best thing to do is find someone breaking a glanza and buy the loom. (i havnt had any dealings with this but....) it should be a straight swap, going from na 91 to turbo 91. same shell, same dash and switches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I was hoping this wasn't the case of having to rip out the looms ah i'll stick with the 4efe I can get looms handy just don't want the hassle of having to pull them all out is all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 not too big of job, theres bugger all to them really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 not bad i build a few na turbos before there good engines is urs gen 1 or 2 ???? gen 2 rods wont hold your 0.8 bar off a tdo4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 not bad i build a few na turbos before there good engines is urs gen 1 or 2 ???? gen 2 rods wont hold your 0.8 bar off a tdo4 not sure, all i know is the pistons have a massive crown on them. thinking on going down to .6 now, just so it has a chance of stayn together. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 If its from a UK car then its the Gen2 engine i think. C.R is 9.6 - 1, i duno how much that 1.9mm HG will bring it down by but maybe 0.6 bar will be a safer bet lol.When you think it'll be running again man ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 got it running tonight, big oil leag from the filter housing, so il look at it tomoz.but it sounded to run sweet enuf on tickover Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 UPDATE!! its running pretty sweet. put a gasket and new o ring on the filter housing and the leak has stopped. so i bunged the headlight in and bumper on and went a spin........pwhoar!!! running 0.6 bar, didnt push it hard tho. did around 3 miles and it went well. come back and did a compression test and it was 195 psi across all four cylinders. gonna do some more test runs before i re comission it to daily life :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
